stand alone drum set wow/ but im still gonna get gh4 over thiss, i skiped gh3 for rock band just because of the drums.. u pretty much need to know how to play the drums just to play with the drums in rock band, so that sucked. so i stucked with the guitar.. witch felt alot more easyer then Gh2 game..

so does this mean I won't be able to use my instruments from Rock Band 1. That would be BS if you can't because they don't expect people to shove out $170 every year and throw away there old instruments.chansaet

sorry i'll be buying gh4 instead to create my own songs. GH4 FTW

I thought GH4 had the best set of drums. Wow1

Why's everyone pooping over the drums, the cymbals are pointless in the actual game, it'll just confuse you since if look the cymbals are the same colours as 3 of the pads, people playing to get the good scores will just use the pads. Plus it's sold seperately, means the price will probably be REALLY high, may as well just invest and get a proper electronic drum kit if you are that into it...

It's a nice feature to have but I think trying to make the instruments too real is just stupid at the end of the day you're always gonna know it's a piece of plastic...

i don't really care because as pure games, both of them will have no depth whatsoever judging off of guitar hero 3 and rock band. i am not buying either but i might borrow guitar hero from a friend for a quick thrill. seriously, does anyone else get tired of playing the same tracklist over and over...mistervengeance

It's good that they're improving the game, but does anyone else feel kinda let down having bought the original drum kit, only to have this absolutely amazing one come out? I mean i cant buy that too, but it's so much better.Ninja-Hippo

Dude they're way, way too expensive to just buy a new one every year. Plus they're freakin' huge. :?

That's all well and good, but can you make your own songs? Will all the tracks be master recordings? Oh, and if you think any self respecting drummer would use that as an electronic drumset you are sorely mistaken.

You can. Instruments are cross compatible.

Obviously this isn't for actual drummers. It's for people who don't play drums, and it's most likely aimed at the people who have played drums in Rock Band and they either don't own it, or want to get a new Rock Band drum kit that isn't a piece of crap (knock on wood) and then want explore actually playing the drums without following colored markers on pre determined songs.-Montauk-

yes. :D the DLC costs too much money, at most it should be 1.50 a song. it's probably just me, but once i play through every song once or twice, that's it. i mean you go into rock band start a band with your friends, and you have to play the same darn songs again. why don't they have more more more, IMO to be worth buying there has to be at least 300 -400 songs.(that come with the instruments for 160 bucks.)
